This was the week. One year ago. I had to carry Copper up the back deck stairs. His hind legs had just given out. That night he barely ate. And I knew. They always say dogs you’ve loved would “tell you” when it was time. And my Prince Copper told me a year ago today that it was time. Those last remaining days as I made arrangements for in-home vet services, contacting my kids to get them home, and emotionally preparing myself were honestly 6 of the worst days of my life… but I fought really hard to make them 6 of his most comfortable....

He was already a member of the fraternity, and though we were the same age, I didn't join a fraternity my first year at Tech, so I was a lowly rushee. I don't exactly remember our first conversation, but I do know it did take place during Fall Rush of 1982 in what the fraternity deemed the "tube" room , the only place the house had a television....

Tonight is the 25th anniversary of our first New Years Eve in this house. We moved here in August of 1999 from a larger home in Brookstone and were “just going to be here a couple of years”. And 25 years later we’re still here in our house that became our home. We bought these “year 2000” toasting glasses and stayed home that year… laughing nervously about what might happen at midnight with all the Y2K hysteria that year....

When I was 8 years old, my Dad loaded up my brother and I to drive to Atlanta for the 1971 Peach Bowl. Georgia Tech was to face Ole Miss at Atlanta Fulton County Stadium. Before the game, we went to the Varsity where I had my first glorious chili cheese dog, onion rings, and a large Frosted Orange. The skies opened up on us and it rained relentlessly but we didn’t leave the game until well into the 4th quarter as Tech was getting blown out 41-18....

Laurie Tanner Henry and I decided to go over to Green Meadows Preserve and walk down in the woods after lunch. It’s important for me to get out and walk with the neuropathy I’m fighting with in both feet, and with Copper no longer with us, I was glad to have Laurie with me today. As I mentioned in a post earlier this week, the back half of 2024 has been rough from a “losing people you care about or having people you care about lose their special someone” perspective....
